Thanks for looking around. It is easy to get frustrated anywhere. Each person has different needs. For you I think you need a place to express yourself freely without getting censored. You also need an active user base that is interested in something more than earnings. And of course we fould all like a fair profit for out time and efforts.
If you do find a platform that comes near Hive then let us know.
The only ones I like and use myself are Gab and Flote - no payouts, but both uncensored and letting rip.
